In a blog on the Soviet Air Force 'Russian Knights' website, team members have announced that it is to take part in this years Farnborough International Airshow on July 9-15. Although not yet confirmed by the show this appearance, if reports prove to be correct, will be by a pair of the team's Sukhoi Su-27 Flankers; not the entire team. It is believed that one aircraft could fly at the show with another remaining on static display. Confirmed attendees for the show include a Boeing F/AI8 Super Hornet, US Marine Corps V-22 Osprey, Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon, Saab Gripen and a debut appearance by the Yak 130. During the weekend, classic aircraft such as the Avro Vulcan XH558 will also be flying. Display teams include the Breitling Jet Team, The Blades, RedHawks, Breitling Wingwalkers and of course the RAF Red Arrows. The solo displays will also be enhanced by the first appearance of the South Korean Air Force T-50 jet trainer in the colours of the Black Eagles display team.
